> Under the Skin Season 2 Recap

--- Li Han lived with her grandmother since she was a child, in a four-bedroom apartment full of clutter. Even the white gauze princess dress she wore on stage as a child was made by her grandmother from old mosquito nets. Because of this, her classmates nicknamed her “Garbage Kid,” and Li Han felt inferior throughout her childhood.

Until she grew up, she finally mustered the courage to tell her grandmother everything that was on her mind, but her grandmother just left like that, lying on that old wooden bed, leaving this world forever. Li Han's grandmother left behind a pile of trash and cardboard for her family, but donated her life's savings to a Hope Primary School. How could Li Han complain about her grandmother after that?

Shen Yi could particularly understand her feelings, and after Li Han spoke all these things out, she felt much better. Shen Yi suggested they go out for a walk to clear their minds and eat something. Li Han readily agreed, and they went to eat pizza together, and Li Han showed a long-lost smile.

The technical team tracked Da Vinci and found he had added a new number, which belonged to a young mother suffering from a rare disease and had lost hope in life. Although the police had informed her family, they couldn't just let Da Vinci continue to harm people. Li Han volunteered to continue following up.

Now she has shaken off the shadow of childhood and can throw herself into work with a confident and brave attitude, so Du Cheng felt relieved and let her continue investigating this lead, and asked Shen Yi to face that Da Vinci with Li Han.

By analyzing Da Vinci's answers, Shen Yi inferred that this Da Vinci was discovering the interlocutor's weaknesses through the chat content, and thus Shen Yi believed that Da Vinci was not a real psychologist at all. Under Shen Yi's guidance, Li Han obtained the house-tree-person drawing sent by Da Vinci and found that this drawing could not reveal the painter's psychological information. Afterward, Shen Yi asked Li Han to use the golden ratio diagram to overlay it.

From this, they discovered that this Da Vinci was not a person at all, but artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is not human after all; it answers whatever the interlocutor asks. Therefore, Shen Yi asked Li Han to switch to various topics to elicit the preferences of the person behind the artificial intelligence. The technical team found that Da Vinci's server was set up overseas, making it very difficult to track the other party.

However, through the few words in Da Vinci's replies, Shen Yi speculated that the creator had worked at a certain game company around 2012 and was currently around 40 years old. But before Du Cheng and the others could find more information, Da Vinci deleted Li Han as a friend first, trying to conceal his identity. Du Cheng and Jiang Feng's pursuit also yielded no results. Li Han was not discouraged.

She invited Wang Pengfei, an expert from the city bureau's technical section, to use a Distributed Denial of Service attack. Because this artificial intelligence could not use existing interfaces, as they have ethical locks that restrict behaviors like inciting suicide, this person must have rented a cloud computing platform overseas. As long as a large amount of chat dialogue is poured into it, either it won't be able to handle it, or it will consume computing power.

If cloud computing is used, it will be restricted from computing too frequently, and computing power requires payment. Dealing with such a high frequency of conversations is expensive. The content of the conversations would be seen by the creator, so Shen Yi asked Li Han to deliver a message to Da Vinci for him. Da Vinci indeed accepted Shen Yi's challenge on the forum. One would use artificial intelligence to draw, and the other would draw by hand.

The drawing time was one hour, and the works would be uploaded anonymously for netizens to vote. The final result was obvious, Shen Yi won. The police also located Da Vinci's position and brought the creator, named Cheng Yinan, back to the station to truthfully confess his crime. After this case, the Beijiang Criminal Police team destroyed Da Vinci, implicitly saving many lives. Li Han was also finally able to say goodbye to her past self, and with Jiang Feng's help, sorted out a clean and tidy home.
